This course is tailored to students with a love for art who have some previous artistic experience in drawing and painting. It’s especially ideal for those looking to pursue further studies in the arts and build a diverse portfolio.
True to the foundations for creating successful artwork, Fine Arts Technique has a strong emphasis on the principles of design. Working with both traditional and non-traditional elements, through the use of various media, students will learn and apply important skills and techniques through various exploratory exercises and projects such as landscape painting, still life studies, portraiture, abstract art, and others.
Fundamentals learned here, will be critical for each student as they move forward, striving to become better artists. Not only will students create, but they will also learn how to take a step back – examining and understanding how to improve upon and complete their final pieces.
One of the most important aspects of this course, is to help and encourage students to unlock their creative spirit without any inhibition. This course is tailored to each student’s needs and interests, aiming to help learners reach new grounds for improvement.
